Whatever happened to......

Post by Lofthouse Tiger » 15 Mar 2018, 18:49

Some of the posters we have had the pleasure of debating with down the years? Been some good ones, funny ones, not so funny ones and Fenton.

Anybody know where these are,

Stokebloke
William Caxton
Jester
Bonzo
Hughie
Fenton
Stu Main
Leo
Smudger
Dirk Diggler
Tiger Totty


There was one guy that used to wear brown jeans all the time at games whos board name escapes me. His real name was Brian if I recall. Funny lad though. For some reason I got Tigermad in my head?

There was also a guy that used to take photos of the crowd and post them on here. His Mrs used to post on here too.

I am sure there are many many more.

Di, the admin, is 'Hughies Sister'

Bonzo and Fenton still go to Cas games I believe. As for Stu Main (and his brother Gaz), I think they both went offline around the same time thecastlefordtigers/Castigers.net went down. I think Gaz owns/writes a music magazine now.

I knew about Hughie/Di and the Main bros. Didnt know Gaz was a writer though.

Stu was a good lad, used to do a piece in the programme for a while.

Yep, this is Gaz Main's magazine: http://www.beardedmagazine.com/about and his Twitter says he writes for The Guardian too now! Also hosts this podcast: https://independentmusicpodcast.net/abo ... c-podcast/

Bonzo defiantly still goes to games, I have him on Facebook.

I remember she went to live there for a while but came back. Not seen/heard of her for years. She used to go to games with her sister.

Good lord.....how could I forget Vinniedog. He loved a verbal scrap he did.

Alf Garnett. He used to bite like a starving Pirhana he did. Funny bloke though. Met him a couple of times.

I remember the guy who took pics. Wasn't his username deano or something? His wife's name on here was Pipadee I think.

Fenton is down south, working in the prison services I believe but he does sometimes get to matches
Smudger is on twitter and facebook
Bonzo is extremely busy with work but still goes to games and is also on twitter and Facebook
Hughies is definitely my brother and he gave his job up at League express about 15 years ago, and moved to Scarborough, were he still lives with his family, he doesn't manage to get to many games but last year, he became a granddad to two little girls, he is both on twitter and facebook but doesn't post too much
tiger totty is living in Australia and gained citizenship last year I think

I remember Bonzo started down the road to being an RL official and did a few games as a touch judge.

The last time I saw Stokebloke was at NR final in Blackpool.

As already mentioned i moved down to the big smoke just over 2 years ago to start a new career but do hope to be moving back home before the season has finished.

I very rarely check the forum anymore if I'm honest. It used to be a great way to find out rumours from those 'in the know' and there used to be some good gossip and great banter, but with social media the way it is now i tend not to check the forum as much, especially when you can get info/gossip more easily elsewhere.

I still get to the games whenever i can, usually every 2 weeks. See you all sunday against Wigan. :dance:
